    This. Exactly this. OP this is your leverage to get this issue fixed at your convenience, not theirs.
  2. P055UM
    Ok. good luck.

    As @Boiler said many K1s (myself included) get their DL after I94 expires. I know you aren’t K1 but idk why yours is different. Good luck all the same.

    Yup. Did this when I moved to the US. Cancelled for credit at some point and used the voucher on a trip back to Europe later.

    I think you’re right. That comment always annoyed me because the officer didn’t ask me any questions about my job or home life or anything and the was like ‘don’t work’. But it doesn’t matter now, for either of us Good luck!

    I had a similar warning at Dublin, after getting grilled for a bit and eventually allowed to enter ‘don’t even think about working, because if you do, we’ll know.’ I had a mountain of things in my bag proving my ties to home that the officer wasn’t interested in seeing. I have had tougher experiences at Dublin than anywhere else. I have wondered before whether they go tougher there as they are worried about it becoming an easy back door to try without having to fly to the American continent (purely conjecture on my part).

    I’d you didn’t ask for it on any of your forms (485/765), you have to go file for it at the SS office. It is pretty easy but may take a few weeks to arrive.
  8. P055UM
    Yeah, that happens. Annoying but easily fixed by simply sending again

    One small note, the vast majority of UK citizens are not eligible for the DV lottery.

    It is just one of those things that needs to be done. Maybe not today or tomorrow (figuratively), but eventually. It’s super quick and easy to do, you’ll be in and out in less than an hour.

    You can check VJ member data here too. Might give you an idea of some real world examples, with the obvious caveats that the data is a tiny sample and often incomplete, and your mileage may vary. Good luck! https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aoslist.php?cfl=0&op1=2&op2=d&op4=1&op5=5,6,8,9,10,11&op8=Oklahoma City OK&xfr=&vtype=1&interview=

    Congrats! Finally progress! :):)

    Two and a half months wasted sure, but I’d argue that is still preferable to the 6-12 months she’ll wait for work and travel authorisation when here on a K1, and a possibly even longer wait for her GC. Or in other words, you’re not so far in yet that it doesn’t make sense to change, if you want. As I K1 myself I can tell you that the fights with bureaucracy and waiting times within the US certainly are a challenge.

    Check the requirements for your state - I used my welcome letter for a bike share program. Point being @Crazy Cat is right when he says ANYTHING

    Seconded. Wise (as they are now known) are excellent.

    If you don’t believe the people here (which is foolhardy as they are giving you good advice - but hey, it’s your right), I’d suggest you take a look at form I-9 (which every employer must complete before they hire anybody) and consider how your wife would be able to satisfy the requirements. Sorry that you got your hopes up but this time will pass eventually. She’ll just have to wait her turn.
  17. P055UM
    Glad it went smoothly for you!
  18. P055UM
    I imagine you’re right. But just for fun: I got my GC in May and my 131 and 765 both have not yet been closed!

    You just go to the office and fill out a new application. It is super simple. I did it this July, was in and out in 45 mins.

    I have used the upload for birth certificate. It still took them 4 months to look at it. Given mine was a vital document I was keen to upload but in your shoes, I’d physically mail.
  21. P055UM
    Looks fine I. I would recommend not utilising its full 880 sheet capacity though

    I see! I just checked my own SAVE file because I went to SSA in July with my green card to get the conditions removed on my SSN and I can see that visit in there. I was wondering if there is a different process for GC/EAD people, but apparently not. I think your best bet is probably to call them or pay them a visit and see what’s up, because in my experience the check should show up in SAVE more or less immediately. Dealing with SSA truly is a nightmare, I wish you the best of luck. ps. I know it is stressful but it isn’t something to worry about, it will get solved eventually - you are entitled to one after all - but I know how frustrating it is in the meantime
  23. P055UM
    Agh, that does sound odd. You could definitely try calling them and seeing if they know what’s up. Out of interest, when did you enter on your K1? Couldn’t see it on your TL.
  24. P055UM
    Did you check using your A-number and your passport number? I found when I was going through those things, some agencies only showed up on one of those searches. Like I could only see SSA searches via my A-number but DMV via my passport.
  25. P055UM
    I think that has changed somewhat since they decoupled EAD/AP processing in February. Certainly a few people in my AoS month only got EAD expedites. Doesn’t make any sense to me but they work in mysterious ways.
